Agitate the Snake

no golden idols can set you straight
if the skin you're in claims king consider yourself participating
we got this big problem we don't wanna fix
we scowl & hiss
we take a piss
agitate the snake
no priest or trust can set you straight
if you say you can't make money than what good is it?
to the brim with hate you raise the stakes
& on & on
it feeds itself along
agitate the snake
what's underneath protecting beligerance?
it's in the throat, ignorance
different sets of rules for different hosts
different controls
they say it's in the skin
which skin are you in?
agitate the snake
it's worse than you think

Paw Symmetry

in paw symmetry who are we?
folded over hissing
connected by contact disease
dark circles repeat
still alphabet's stunning
connected by contact vaccines
asleep at the wheel
fancification
guided by farce, greed our creation
it's our breeding, what a let down
kill to keep paw symmetry

swear to us there's a big reset
fever boards imitating mother
can you still see our silhouettes?
they see yes but they sound unsure though
stare down pass down get down
hands up chin up chest out
any richer & we'll all turn green
can only have it if you act real mean
is this a beach or a bedroom scene?
i can't tell with all this thoughtless breeding
this simulation is a power move
just nod your head since you agree
this situation is an avalanche
fill your pockets & don't look back
it's the end of a century
it's the end

Lab Rats

we bury our dead
stay well fed
another family moves in
we keep them
tails missing
avoid bipeds
smell stenches
we watch them
scatter the scene
don't shit where we eat
what are those screens
we keep seeing them feeding
they keep saying it's a test

Trap Door
04:09
|

|
can you hear our breathing?
the sound of hard hearts beating?
can you see their scheming?
got that weaponized grin
you're learning
can you hear that ringing?
leave a message after beep after greeting
they'll force you voice out
leave a message for the underground
do it
you're learning
big house big joke big meetings
no hope tightrope get green then
trap door knives sharp for bidding

Worship Killing
04:07
|

|
every other debt
constructed to give
the big win
the big grin
are you a big winner?
another animal in cages
just like our kin
are you a big spender?
think of all the spilling
this crisis we're in
technology winning
but fake toys are empty
worship killing
killing
killing
every other channel will tell you
filling airwaves
we're not really listening
it's all backwards anyway
there's a thicker silence hanging
stunted, secrets, shhhhhh
are you a big spender?
time emits time
i admit my violence
can you see yours shining?
are you a big winner?
functions can kill
look at me
tasks can kill, inside a fissure
transmit or receiver
i can't remember the signal
can't remember shit
are you a big winner?
front runner?
innovator?
bit by bit by bit
dit dah dit dah dit
we have to relearn what we thought we could forget
every other debt
set to consequence
they throw a parade
pray to get paid
so they can get rid of us humans

[ok]

ok see the rings under eye like bruises?
do you think you're choosing?
do you think you're charmed?
ok see the wall where i bash my brains in?
do you think i'm living?
do you think i'm lonely?
tell me
ok see the storm drain flood every morning?
do you think we're safe?
do you think we're saved?
see the backwards bend toward bed every evening?
do you think we're happy?
do you think we can be?
you kill me
ok see the bit for which we are all chomping?
does it make you nervous?
does it make you clench?
ok see the screen and backdrop fading?
do you make you rich?
does it scratch that itch?
ok

undertow
no control

big lake
no hurry slow sinker
call your maker
don't you dare her
big lake
takin it
did we listen?
did we notice?
big lake
tides raise
we pale
her wake
do you feel her comin?
